This report examines how laws and regulations are developed and implemented in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It outlines the country's legal framework, the hierarchy of legal norms, and the roles of key institutions, including Parliament, the government, provincial authorities, and the Constitutional Court.

The report describes the main stages of the rulemaking process, from the initiation and review of legislative proposals to their adoption and promulgation. It also explains the procedures for creating different types of legal instruments at national and provincial levels.


In addition, the author identifies major challenges, including complex legislation, institutional fragility, political influence, overlapping jurisdictions, and difficulties in enforcing adopted laws. To address these issues, the report highlights the need for simpler legislative procedures, stronger institutions, improved oversight, better access to legal information, and greater participation by citizens and civil society.

The report emphasizes that effective rulemaking depends not only on a sound legal framework but also on transparent institutions, public participation, and the effective implementation of laws.
